Welcome to Thread 8 of Traitors 2026.

This thread runs at TV pace so do not read any further if you are not up to date with the live broadcast. Whilst most discussion will be on the current series, inevitably people will refer to previous series/players/winners so reader beware if you’ve not seen the 3 previous editions, or the celebrity version.

While we welcome posters discussing their theories and speculating on relationships/connections between players, please don’t post spoilers from elsewhere that may ruin things for those of us who like to see things unfold over the course of the series.

The story so far (as at end of Ep 6):

Traitors
Hugo
Rachel
Stephen
Fiona (Secret Traitor)

Murdered
Netty
Ben
Maz
Reece

Banished
Judy (Faithful)
Hugo (Traitor)
Ross (Faithful)
Amanda (Faithful)
Fiona (Traitor)
Harriet (Faithful)

Jessie, James and Adam are the potential murder candidates, but both Jessie and James have shields.

The floor is yours…

I don’t remember that.

Hug between Stephen & R - look for body language between people post round table.

I would murder Jessie tonight

I don’t either.

I think she’s getting murdered next!

Will they be brave enough to murder Jessie? I think Rachel might push this as she's clearly willing to shove Stephen under the bus. If not, the people who won't get banished seem to be Jack and Faraaz so one of them? (But they've had no time in the edit)

Jack then...Faraaz has had zero screen time really.

It’s harder to find Traitors when there are only two of them.

I'd murder Jessie too.

They need to recruit Matt tonight because he has heat so he will get voted out next and then the faithfuls will think they have the majority of traitors.

I think with Jessie it’s a combination of her stammer, her age, her sex, and her accent making people think she’s less intelligent than she is. I think she’s great. Really smart and seems to have a good read on people.

Yep, I've been that young, working class woman with the Hull accent and I'm also actually great and really smart.

I’m 99% convinced Matthew knows who the traitors are. He doesn’t can’t to call them out though.
please don’t murder Jessie or James.

Oh, Steven’s jumpsuit!

no, baby no!

Tom the magician insisted it was Ivan, spent all day convincing everyone to vote for him and was absolutely convinced he could read people because he was a magician... Ivan stood up after being voted out and said "Tom. This was your big flourish. And here's the prestige..." And Tom was convinced he was right and so excited, and then Ivan said "That was not my card, I'm a faithful". Properly wiped the smug smile off Tom's face 🤣

I’ll sulk if she is! I think that would be too risky for Stephen. But then he hasn’t always made the best decisions.

Agree

She also dresses in very bright colours, a sort of kids' TV presenter style, so maybe that stops people taking her seriously.

Yes surely if they kill Jessie its going to put a huge target on Stephen’s head.

Come on Faraaz. Get wise!

Finally, Faraz starting to wake up.

They need to recruit tonight.

who has the shields?

Not enjoying this for now

Jessie is correct. People dismiss what she says. They’ve not even considered it.

@RainbowSnake maybe but she’s literally a lone voice, it’ll be forgotten

Go Faraaz!

I'm depressed with Jessie - I genuinely judge people on what they say rather than the accent/age etc and as much as I love the traitors, some of the things it shows me about groups of people are DEPRESSING

Why has Jessie got a matching yellow scrunchie on her wrist when her hair isn’t long enough to back? Maybe as a hairdresser she’s always ready to help someone else who needs it.
